ONE POSE MANY BENEFITS:
Natural Asana or Dancer pose or Lord of dance pose.
It is an intermediate/advanced pose, so beginners avoid this pose. This pose has many benefits, such as:
1. Tones and stretches the muscles of the legs and hips. 
2 Strengthens legs, ankle and the arch in the standing foot.
3. Improves balance.
4. Improves concentration and memory
5. Stretches shoulders and chest.
The most important benefit one gets from this pose is the balancing of the body; this helps to bring our focus inward. And improves mind-body connection. Reminder: 
Avoid this pose if you are a beginner or if you have an ankle injury, slip disk, lower back injury, arm surgery or severe pain, knee injury, tennis elbow. 
And as I always say, IF YOU FEEL ANY PAIN OR DISCOMFORT DURING THE POSE, THEN PLEASE STOP. DON’T PUSH
Find a yoga teacher near you and practice under the guidance of a certified yoga teacher.

Something we all need at this time. Hope you guys find some patience too🙏 Few reminders: 1. While practising, Never force this pose. It might take work of a few months before you get there, so be patient. Don't shy away from using props like a pillow or yoga block. 2. Avoid if you have any groin injury or hamstring injury. 3.

Balance :
Self-esteem is a matter of balance. Too much can tip over into arrogance, and the inability to admit when we have gone wrong.

INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY 2019
For the last 1 week, I have been sharing some popular myths about yoga through my Instagram Stories 
So many of you guys asked me then what is YOGA? 
So here it is : 
Yoga is NOT an exercise form as is commonly misunderstood today. 
Yoga is not about bending and twisting your body or holding your breath. 
It is a mechanism and a technology to get you to that state of experience where you see reality just the way it is.
“Yoga” literally means union.
It is not something that you do. 
Yoga is something that you become. 
It is not an act, it is a quality. 
If you cultivate your body, mind, emotions and energies to a certain level of maturity, a certain quality arises within you. 
That is yoga.
Modern science proves that the whole existence is just one energy – but you are not experiencing it that way. 
If you can break this illusion that you are separate, and experience the oneness of existence, that is yoga. 
To lead you towards this experience, there are various methods. Asanas are one aspect.
~Sadhguru ~ Asanas or Yoga Poses helps our body and mind to prepare and enable us to see beyond the matrix, to break this illusion or Maya. The only requirement for this is one should be really WILLING.

Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. 
It’s a way of entering into the quiet that’s already there – 
buried under the 
50,000 thoughts the average person thinks every day.

Nothing can harm you as much as your own thoughts unguarded.

Watch your thoughts. 
Thoughts have much more power than you know. 
It can really make things happen or not happen.
